WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Breitbart News alone that President Donald Trump and his administration were almost the same as former President Richard Nixon stripped China from the Soviet Union during the Cold War. He said he is aiming to strip Russia from it.
“I don't know if they'll be completely successful in stripping them completely out of their relationship with the Chinese,” Rubio said Trump's efforts to end the war in Ukraine head towards Nixon's famous China. It suppresses the Soviet Union when asked if it resembles a famous moment. “I also don't think having China and Russia on each other's neck is good for global stability, as they are both nuclear power, but we now have Russians to become Chinese. I think you're in a situation where you're more and more dependent on us, if you think about it, that's not a good result either.”
Rubio said US-China relations define this century, so the better outcome for both Russians and Americans is that Russians are not purely dependent on China as “junior partners.”
“The big story of the 21st century will be US-China relations,” Rubio said. “If Russia becomes China's permanent junior partner in the long term, you're talking about two nuclear forces lined up against the US, and 10 years from now, but five years from now. , if this trend continues, we can find whether Russia wants to improve relations with the US, as they are completely dependent on the Chinese because we cut them off , they cannot do us ourselves in situations. I don't know if that's a good outcome for us. The better outcome for us is to have a relationship. We are With Chinese people, they are cheating and stealing all kinds of things. Military not, otherwise we will have a direct conflict with the competition. We will have a disagreement with the Russians, but we have a relationship with both. They must. These are big and powerful countries with nuclear stockpiles. They can project electricity globally. I think we have lost the concept of maturity and sanity in diplomatic relations. Part of diplomatic relations is the ability to communicate and manage through problems with other great forces around the world to avoid war and conflict. However, situations in which Russians are permanent Chinese partners I think there is. For America or Europe or the world.”
Rubio's first foreign trip as Secretary of State was in the Western Hemisphere to Panama. During his visit, he managed to convince the Panama government to leave the Chinese belt and road initiative. Chinese use the Belt and Road Initiative as a tool to build global hegemony, and use loans and finances as foreign policy and economic weapons to capture less wealthy countries in debt diplomacy. In Panama, where the Panama Canal is located, this Chinese effort has threatened us because this Chinese effort is important to the United States for several reasons.
“Well, look, the Panama Canal was built by the US. Without it, it would take a few days and a few days to get through the Pacific Ocean, so we built it. Breitbart News. “Unfortunately, Jimmy Carter handed it to the Panama people, woke up after 20 years, and due to many problems including corruption, China basically owns two large ports, the Hutchison port on both sides of the canal. Therefore, the conflict is In the age of conflict, conflict with all the other tentacles that have been established in those ports and canals, the Chinese may interfere with traffic on the canal. That's what terrifying.”
“Just as President Trump likes to say,” he continued. So, I am not the current president of Panama, who is very pro-American, but under the former president, the Panamas abandoned Taiwan, took all sorts of money, and became more China. And it's good that we have a more pro-American partner there. He finished the Belt and Road Initiative, the first country in Latin America to end the Belt and Road Initiative. It's good that they are undertaking an audit of the Chinese companies operating these two ports. See what that audit will be like – I think when they do that audit they will find some bad things there. Therefore, we hope that it will not be owned by them. ”
The US has made this defense against the Belt and Road Initiative of the Chinese Communist Party – making sure that countries like Panama don't leave or join other countries – up until now What was mostly missing was the attack strategy against China's hegemony. It appears Trump is unlocking the lock as he signed an agreement with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pursue further what is called the Economic Corridor of India's Eastern Europe and the Economic Corridor (IMEC). It travels through India's Middle East, through the Middle East, through Cyprus and Greece to Europe.
“I think there's a bigger deal that's going to be a big deal like that comes under President Trump,” Rubio said when asked about the IMEC and India deal that Trump and Modi signed. “It's funny because I know I always read that President Trump is an isolationist. No, no – He's not an isolationist. President Trump says that what he wants is that America will once again be respected in the world and our interests will be protected all over the world. Living in the world is our interests Not in the hemisphere we call home, especially in the hemisphere, which is surrounded by countries that employ loans and debts from China, which has fallen into Chinese mercy. China lends you all this money, You cannot pay them back, so they will hold this on your head and you must vote with them at the United Nations. In the direction we go, we will one day see Wake up, we realized that the Chinese were setting up naval bases in the Western Hemisphere where they could threaten us. With all the nations that are neighbors. So I think you're seeing what President Trump wants to do, and you're already beginning to turn all of that back on. That's the hemisphere we call home. Not only are they all over the world, like the Indo-Pacific. They have allies like Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia and India. These are countries that do not want to live in the Indo-Pacific, ruled by China, which is considered a vassal state. They want the United States to remain their partner. They want us to be involved and remain involved. Under President Trump, that's what we do. It's something I do. Not from the standpoint of weakness, but from the standpoint of strength.”
For IMEC to succeed, the Abraham agreement, like Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries in the Gulf, must see Saudi Arabia finally join and ultimately participate. Of course, the conflict between Israeli and Palestinians in Gaza after October 7 has been strong enough to have a greater and longer-lasting solution in Gaza, as hostage releases and ceasefires are held for the time being. We weakened what is going on. In addition to unlocking trades throughout the Middle East, as well as linking the Far East with Europe, European partners like Greece and Cyprus have shown great interest in seeing this IMEC trade corridor all the way to completion. In a recent panel moderated by Breitbart News at the Delphi Forum in Washington, DC, hosted by the Hellenic American Leadership Council, both Greek vice ministers and Cyprus were excited by the prospects for an expanded deal with Trump in the White House. It was there. Furthermore, the fact that Rubio met his Russian Sergei Lavrov in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia seems like a coincidence. They aim to oil the skid for their final partnership and trade not only with Russians but with Saudi Arabians.
“In that case, I think Saudi Arabia was a good partner in the US,” Rubio told Breitbart News. “The Crown Prince has made great strides in that country. Think about it. At that conference, the US, Saudi Arabia and Russia, theoretically three largest oil producers in the world: Energy and I'll talk about how important energy is to the future. Under President Trump, what you have is to pay to reward our friends, become America's enemy and weaken us. I think it's a foreign policy of strength and foreign policy. I think there are foreign policy and economic policies that are no longer used. For a long time, our foreign policy has been completely in the way of thinking about national interests. We were not dependent. We thought our job was to become a kind of global government. We are not a world government. We are the US government. Our top priority is , it must be our national interest. You need to define it. You need to define what it is. Then all the policies and all the dollars you spend on foreign aid We have to promote that national interest. I think what President Trump is bringing back to foreign policy is that it's kind of common sense and what we're trying to do here at the State Department.”
Rubio also pointed out some success in Trump's first month with Panama, from cybersecurity to migration management.
“It's great that the admiral visited Panama and signed a cyber agreement last week rather than running Southern Command. Panama could have created a cyber intrusion that threatens the stability of the canal. Because I am very concerned about having sex,” Rubio said. “So, all of these are positive developments. In addition, they have reclaimed 300 or 400 immigrants sent from third countries, not Panama, from third countries. They flew to Panama and then Darien Gap. They were sent to camps, about half of them have already been sent to their original country of origin. These are people who were in America and not Panama, but we wanted to let them out of the US, so they were Panama And then we went from Panama to our original country of origin. We hope that the rest will be able to return to their origin. Interestingly, when President Trump took over, we would be heading to the US. Along the way there were many immigrants, and they got the news that Joe Biden is no longer in the White House. , they made a U-turn, and now they're back in Panama. Panama asks us to help promote them returning to their home country. They're back in Venezuela It looks like 500 Venezuelans trying to get it. So this is all good. I think we've seen the illegal immigration numbers collapse in the last four weeks since President Trump took over. Mass immigration at the border I think we could have put an end to the crisis. Now we need to keep it that way and we obviously have to deal with people who are illegally and especially violent criminals here. They are not. They are extremely dangerous people.”
Details of Rubio's exclusive interview with Breitbart News are approaching.
